FundingPips

Payouts

On Demand 90% reward cycle is no longer offered on 2 Step Standard accounts, and the 35% consistency score applies only to the Monthly 100% cycle.

Payouts

FundingPips replaced the Monthly 100% reward cycle with On Demand 100% on 2 Step Standard, 2 Step Pro, 2 Step Flex and 1 Step Flex: a 100% split you can request any time once you have a 35% consistency score and at least 7 profitable days of 0.5% or more (both reset after each reward).

Accounts on this cycle are under the Striking System, which warns when one trade idea's loss reaches 1% of the account size.

Lucid Trading

Consistency

LucidFlex evaluation consistency drops from 50% to 40%, with 50% as a paid add-on and an optional daily loss limit at checkout.

Applies to: LucidFlex · Evaluation · 25K–150K

  • Consistency limit: 50% → 40%

LucidFlex accounts are now set up at checkout. The 50% consistency limit is a paid add-on, and resets use 40%. The daily loss limit is optional: when on, it applies to the evaluation and the funded account, locks the account until the next session instead of failing it, and gives the funded account on-demand payouts. With it off, payouts follow the regular end-of-day schedule.
